Josh Murphy: Norwich City winger signs four-and-a-half-year contract extension

Josh Murphy has scored seven goals in 18 games for Norwich City this season

Norwich winger Josh Murphy has signed a contract extension to stay with the Championship club until June 2021.

Canaries academy graduate Murphy has made 44 first-team appearances since his debut against Watford in the League Cup in September 2013.

The 21-year-old was set to be out of contract at the end of the season.

"He's got blistering pace, he's got real athleticism and he's a goal threat in pretty much every minute of the game," manager Alex Neil said.

"Those types of players are rare and hopefully he can become a first-team regular."
